Sabaidee ! Bienvenue à Sep Lai ! Nous servons de la nourriture traditionnelle laotienne en utilisant de nombreux ingrédients locaux pour créer des plats uniques et authentiques. Comme c'est la norme au Laos, tous nos plats sont faits pour être partagés ! Bien que vous puissiez trouver des similitudes avec d'autres plats d'Asie du Sud-Est tels que les plats thaïlandais ou vietnamiens, la cuisine laotienne est une cuisine distincte avec ses propres saveurs complexes et excitantes. Pleine d'herbes fraîches, de légumes crus, de viandes savoureuses et toujours accompagnée d'un panier de riz gluant, nous sommes fiers de partager cette cuisine avec tout le monde, y compris les végétaliens, les végétariens et les personnes sensibles au gluten ! Nous espérons que les plats de nos parents et de nos grands-parents vous inspireront le même réconfort et la même joie qu'à nous, et que vous vous exclamerez : "Sep lai ! C'était délicieux !"

L'endroit est souvent cité comme une découverte charmante du quartier, parfait pour tester plusieurs plats et revenir pour les nouveautés ou le menu degustation sans se ruiner.
We were really looking forward to trying Sep Lai for authentic Lao food, but unfortunately, it was a huge disappointment. Every dish we ordered was dominated by an overwhelming artificial lime flavor that tasted anything but authentic.
The sai oua (Lao sausage) was far too salty, & both the papaya salad & mango salad were nearly inedible. The nem khao & laab gai (chicken) didn't fare any better. In fact, we barely finished the dishes we ordered - which says a lot.
When a place advertises as authentic, you expect freshness & balance, but this was the opposite. I do not recommend Sep Lai & will not be back.

Great neighborhood treasure ...creative, delicious Laotian cuisine. Dinner last night was so good I thanked the chef. Everything she prepared was delicious & fresh, with great combinations of flavors. The tapioca & taro pudding with coconut cream & black sesame seeds is one of the best desserts I've ever had. Charming terrace out back in the summer.
Superb spot! Cute courtyard for summer night dinning! Fresh ingredients, great flavours & a fantastic tasting menu! Humble spresentation from a humble chef! BYOW as well is an added bonus. A must try…You'll be back!
Food is spectacular & great sized portions! So tasty!! Our table tried about 8 different things & i can't even tell you which was the best because they were all 10/10!!
The coconut red curry soup is so unbelievably delicious & hearty & the crispy chicken wings are so fresh & flavourful & huge!!
The sticky rice even being as simple as it is was so delicious!
💯 will be back & often!
Can't wait to sit on the patio in the back!!!
I came with a group so we decided to order many dishes to share among us. The Laap is a fresh herb salad. The French shallots are so pungent, they overpower the taste of the herbs. So I preferred the papaya salad which was sweeter. The vegan meatballs taste & feel like real meat! They bring you a container of crushed peanuts to add on your dishes if you need. My mistake is I didn't asked if the Pina colada was vegan. It came with whipped cream on top. During summer, dining at the terrasse is a must! However, it was a bit incommodating when somebody smoking was passing by, since the terrace is in the backyard of the restaurant.
Delicious fresh food, beautiful peaceful back patio. I found service to be a bit lacking in terms of warmth & attention but overall our experience was wonderful.
An absolute gem of a find. Food was extremely fresh & savoursul, service was friendly & quick & prices were estreemly reasonable! Great experience A-Z!
I keep coming back here & bringing family & friends because it's cozy,the food is fresh, delicious & reasonably priced, service is informal & friendly. It's always been a positive experience. Sep Lai, you have such a good thing going! Keep it up.

Great food made fresh, if you want alcohol you have to take your own though. They will provide a wine bucket with ice & open your bottles for you. Intimate & friendly place
Absolutely wonderful experience, the food was so fresh & flavourful, the outdoor patio was so whimsical & private & the service was perfect! One of Montreal's best kept secrets!
We came to Sep Lai as a group of 15 people, & we had a blast! Our waitress Sophie was incredibly sweet & attentive, the food was very delicious & tasted fresh. We were on the terrace, & it was beautifully decorated. We had a wonderful & unforgettable evening.
Some suggestions:
The food did take a little while to come, it would be great to reduce the waiting time between dishes.
It was a little bit windy when we visited, an outdoor heater would maybe be a good addition on chillier days. However, they did offer blankets for guests who were starting to get cold which was very nice!
